We are also happy to answer any questions, so give us a call or fill out our Ask a Tech form.
What Does the Warning Light Mean?
Depending on the specific model and year of your Jeep, the specific warning lights and symbols may vary. We always recommend checking your Owner’s Manual if you are unsure. There are many different symbols as well, but we’ll highlight a few of the most common ones here for quick reference. Another thing to keep in mind is the color of the light. Red usually means that the issue is serious and should be addressed by a service technician as soon as possible. From there the urgency gets less severe, moving from amber to yellow to orange and then green or blue for more informational warnings.
Engine Oil Warning
One of the most common dashboard warning light symbols you’ll see on your Cherokee, Wrangler, or other Jeep is for the engine oil. Usually indicated by a lamp or can with a small drop mark, this means that the system has dedicated low levels of engine oil. This will usually be in red as well, so make sure to inspect the oil levels or schedule an oil change as soon as possible. Another very common symbol is the engine. This will usually be an amber color which means that there is an undiagnosed issue with the engine light and that you should get it checked. Since it’s an amber color and not red, you can continue driving with this light one, but we don’t recommend doing so for an extended period of time.
Common Warning Lights
Additional warning lights that you should keep an eye out for include a red wavy circle with an exclamation mark in the middle. This usually means a transmission fault indicator which can lead to engine failure. If you see a red thermometer symbol that appears to be in waves of water, the engine temperature is too hot and could result in the engine overheating. Since your Jeep will likely be equipped with 4WD, it’s important to note the difference between the warning lights related to the drivetrain system. If the light is ‘SERV 4WD’ it can signal an issue with the drivetrain. Meanwhile, ‘4WD LOW’ or some variation of just means that the system is engaged at a low gear ratio, which is common if you are heading up a steep hill or going off-road.
